Sigh.

"An HTML5 presentation designed to familiarise developers with basic approaches to debugging jQuery and JavaScript code. It also introduces many of the common pitfalls most people encounter at some point on their jQuery journey."

...will probably stick with Colorbox, mind.

Killing puppies.

"Have you ever wished you could style checkboxes, drop down menus, radio buttons, and file upload inputs?" Not really, no.

"Niceforms is a script that will replace the most commonly used form elements with custom designed ones." Oh dear.

Sigh.

The linked article is fairly useless but the comments on it are good; real-world dev stories.

Fisheye/dock navigation examples.

"A carousel plugin built for responsive layouts."

Cheers, Scott!

"A JavaScript plugin that makes long, unwieldy select boxes much more user-friendly. It is currently available in both jQuery and Prototype flavors."

Another option.

"An exquisite jQuery plugin for magical layouts". Always a risk that I'll need something like this.

"Allows you to add a dynamically-resized background image to any page. The image will stretch to fit the page, and will automatically resize as the window size changes."

"I personally feel that until a developer is interested enough in learning about patterns to make the leap to invest in these, the majority of material they have accessible online doesn’t focus enough on how to apply design patterns to JavaScript or jQuery. That’s where having a free book of this nature comes in useful."

A small collection of unobtrusive functions like open link in new window, input/textarea autoclear etc.

A nice-looking bit of CSS, markup and script for standardising forms.

Good stats. "If you’re using jQuery on a public-facing site, use the Google CDN to host it." But don't use latest version in production.

Riffing on the excellent Yahoo GBS.

"These pieces provided by Dojo — or any other comprehensive toolkit, for that matter — are but starter patterns, and thread, and scissors, and pins, and a sewing machine, and OK I’m stretching the metaphor, now, but my point is they’re definitely not finished one-size-fits-nobody garments. On the other hand, if I decide to use jQuery in a large application, it can feel like I’ve been given a black marker and some of that crinkly brown paper, and now it’s up to me to draw a pattern and then come up with all those other pieces, too. Intellectually interesting and pleasingly crafty, perhaps, but not particularly efficient, sustainable, repeatable, or maintainable."

"This is a land where HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are almost all you need, and I like it. I’ve become a firm believer in moving giant hunks of functionality that used to belong to the server over to the client. For a variety of reasons, I think it’s clear that this is where most interesting web development is headed, to the extent it’s not already there."

"Since HTML5 is getting more attention by way of marking up our new pages, and the only way to get IE to acknowledge the new elements, such as <article>, is to use the HTML5 shiv, I've quickly put together a mini script that enables all the new elements."

"Allows you to upload files using HTML5 Gears, Silverlight, Flash, BrowserPlus or normal forms, providing some unique features such as upload progress, image resizing and chunked uploads."

Not entirely buying all the arguments in this one but raises some very worthwhile points.

"A plugin for jQuery to help you display notices, dialogs, and modal windows in a web browser. It is flexible and tiny, akin to a "Swiss Army Knife", and makes a great base as a general purpose windowing framework."

"Instead of downloading all Jquery-plugins, you might or might not need, Lazy downloads the plugins when you actually use them."

"A utility-belt library for Javascript that provides a lot of the functional programming support that you would expect in Prototype.js (or Ruby), but without extending any of the built-in Javascript objects. It's the tie to go along with jQuery's tux."

"Provides a method for a web interface to use SVG images as icons, while being loaded from a single file. This reduces the amount of HTTP requests, offering the same kind of benefit available with CSS sprites."

"Enables you to easily add Microsoft Ajax Library and jQuery scripts to your Web applications" if, horror of horrors, you should need to do something involving MS Ajax.

"A set of conventions and small javascript libraries to archieve a complete separation of html, css and javascript in your web application. Jamal is built on jQuery and inspired by MVC frameworks like Ruby on Rails, CakePHP and its derivatives."

"Turn entire content blocks in to clickable targets."

"What you really need are tabs, tooltips, accordions, overlays, high usability, striking visual effects and all those "web 2.0" goodies that you have seen on your favourite websites." Or perhaps, "what you always get asked to provide, whether you like it or not".

Nicely done. "slideViewer is a lightweight (1.5Kb) jQuery plugin wich allows to instantly create an image gallery by writing just few lines of HTML such as an unordered list of images".

"Enter the URL of any CSS file to view and modify its color spectrum"

"'isReady' never gets set in FF3.5 if jQuery loaded after domready"

"A jQuery plugin with native animations, auto list navigation, and default application styles for Mobile WebKit browsers like iPhone, G1, and Pre."

"It's like a lot of similar projects where the goal is to improve the speed of page load by allowing scripts to load in parallel. The thing it does slightly differently than most others like it is it allows you to "block", which is to say, load one or more scripts in parallel, then wait for them to finish, before going on to something else, like loading more scripts."

"Makes working with SWFUpload easier"

"Computation and drawing of lines, axes, shadows even the grid itself is handled by pluggable "renderers". Not only are the plot elements customizable, plugins can expand functionality of the plot too! There are plenty of hooks into the core jqPlot code allowing for custom event handlers, creation of new plot types, adding canvases to the plot, and more."

"Which one you choose really has more to do with your own style and what you need to accomplish."

Creates a page fold effect in the top right corner.

"While a lot of Tabs-Scripts claim to be accessible it turns out, most of them are really not."

"You want to read about the code structure of the new whitehouse.gov website on this historic Inauguration Day of the 44th president of the USA. The site is built on ASP.NET"

"For Ajax-driven pages to have back/forward navigation and to allow bookmarking."

Nice way of avoiding FOUC.

"A jQuery plugin that provide a easy to use and powerful API for creating dynamic Google Maps."

Nice.

"Stick this in your page, call $.profile.start() to start profiling calls to $(selector), and then $.profile.done() to stop profiling"

"A jquery plugin which allows you to replace the browsers default vertical scrollbars on any block level element with an overflow:auto style. You can easily control the apperance of the custom scrollbars using simple CSS."

"A jQuery plugin for controlling a list of items in horizontal or vertical order. The items, which can be static HTML content or loaded with (or without) AJAX, can be scrolled back and forth (with or without animation)."

"This article is a proof of concept for visualizing HTML table data with the canvas element."

"Lightweight but rich data grid with resizable columns and a scrolling data to match the headers, plus an ability to connect to an xml based data source using Ajax to load the content."
